They pronounce it Coburn. I keep trying to tell everyone you can't have a silent "ck", it's cockburn but they won't have a  burning bar of it.

I've had that before.

The antibiotics cleared it up thankfully.

    Looks like Clubs (including ours) will be in a better position to start serious consideration of potential pay offers around the end of July:   Players' CBA possible by end of July: AFL

    Jack VIney could have gotten more money waiting til then. Maybe he sacrificed a chunk of cash on his first big contract to help keep everyone at the club

    Wouldn't put it past him

    Keep winning games and developing this culture we are seeing. That's our best opportunity to retain Hogan. Not to mention a fair bit of soldi.

    Geez Hoges would've been basking in one stunning day if he was here for it. I dare say even Ethan would begrudgingly acknowledge it.

    this is true, provided we do actually receive that 'remarkable' thing in return

    I actually don't think 2 x picks in the top 5 would do it for me

    although if it's Oliver + Petracca you can live with it, maybe

    again I'll say though Hogan is a much rarer commodity than even the greatest midfielders

    Don't forget that sides have won flags with key position forwards of the likes of Barry Hall, Quentin Lynch, and Adam Hunter, Chris Dawes, and Travis Cloke. Its all about the midfield and forward 50 pressure.

    This saga just cannot go on for a long period. All the press and media hype on it has to affect Jesse and his performance on the field. It also has to affect his team mates. His manager has a duty to Jesse to have this resolved asap. I think Jesse may sign on with us for 4-5 years with a team that is on the up, which gives him plenty of time left in his career to move back to the west at the age of 25-26. Given all the hype, we may get a surprise that a decision happens sooner rather than later as both Jesse and the Club cannot have all this constant conjecture continuing. It is destabilising for everyone. Wiser heads hopefully prevail.

    All the conjecture had a huge impact on Dangerfield last year.......

    Yes, but have you got a giant ferris wheel overlooking an industrial area?

    Interesting article in the Herald Sun this morning - Scott Cummings and Glenn Jakovich stating that the constant travel took a year or two off their careers. Jakovivch talked about a couple of players who started at the same time as him getting two extra years through not travelling as much as they were Melbourne based. Both said that the travel burden was less than ideal on their bodies and the article referenced Jesse's back stress fractures. Scott Cummings suggested that if Jesse was to move he would need to have a "business class" travel clause in his contract.

    I know lachie neales family, speak to his step dad and mother frequently. He isn't leaving freo. Freo have looked after him terrific and he has no intentions to leave.

    I don't think his family would blab out the truth unless the recipient is one of the closest confidants of the family. We did hear a lot of  crap and disinformation  coming out of the Scully camp.  If Neale is intent on leaving I doubt he might fit our requirements if Brayshaw, Petracca and Oliver continue  to improve.  Freo will put a high price on him even if they are desperate to secure Hogan.There is the possibility of a three or four club super deal where someone like Hurley may come into the picture if Hogan decides to leave.

    I have gotten disapproving looks and comments from my school teacher mother in law and wife when I drive past there as say it like it is. Looks like a place Colonwood supporters will feel comfortable in.

    My mate calls me two-diks as he is adamant that I couldn't be that stupid with just one.

    Same article actually says that the Herald Sun believe that Hogan wants to stay in Melbourne.  The hard copy does anyway for anyone that has a copy of the paper.  I note that bit isn't on the online article though.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
